With a career spanning more than 20 years as a drummer and producer, Fred Ferreira has established an almost umbilical relationship with music. From the distant Yellow W Van to Orelha Negra, through Buraka Som Sistema and Banda do Mar, each album in which he has participated becomes an increasingly serious case. After releasing his first record under his own name, “O Amor Encontra-te no Fim” (Love will

find you in the End) in 201), Fred has completed his new work, “Madlib”, a tribute to Madlib – aka Otis Jackson Jr. –, the great production master, a decanter of sound. For this album, Fred surrounded himself with a quartet of experienced jazz musicians, who take us on a high-performance sonic journey, in which Fred plays drums like never before.
